On the carriage back, Su Wen angrily scolded her brother-in-law several times.
"I asked him to help me in times of need, but he summoned a hungry wolf for me. It's so bizarre that he actually wants you to leave, cousin..."
Before she could finish her words, Shen Dingzhu covered her mouth.
The Xuanjia army outside is following, and it is very likely that they will hear it.
Su Wen muttered angrily: "Cousin, since this guy is the youngest daughter of some bullshit regent, let's tell my cousin-in-law right now and ask him to send someone to arrest her!"
"I don't believe it. Even if her life is threatened, Chang Liu Country dares not to give us the dandelion grass? What the hell, it pisses me off."
Shen Dingzhu supported her head with one hand, and her slightly drooped eyelashes were like two butterfly shadows on her white porcelain skin. The beauty's posture looked leisurely, but the fingertips that kept touching the hems of her clothes betrayed her irritability. thoughts.
"It's useless to catch her, her life is worthless." Shen Dingzhu said.
Su Wenhua was shocked: "What? Isn't she the regent's youngest daughter? I saw that the regent in Changliu Kingdom seemed to be able to cover the sky with one hand. He was very powerful."
Shen Dingzhu smiled, and his charming beauty dimmed everything.
"If you are really powerful, you won't let your daughter take the risk and come to Jin to do such a life-threatening thing."
The regent had fought against Xiao Langyan several times, and he should have known that he was a ruthless person.
Once he found out what Wei Wan said to Shen Dingzhu, it would be considered a mercy for Xiao Langyan to cut Wei Wan into pieces.
"If I remember correctly, the young emperor of Changliu Kingdom is over twenty this year. It is the time to fight for power. Although the regent has held power for many years, he must have encountered some difficult situation and had to take this step. He wants his daughter to become the concubine of the Jin Kingdom, which symbolizes marriage, thereby raising his worth and ensuring his survival in the Changliu Kingdom, so that the young emperor will not touch him easily."
Su Wenhua was confused when he heard this.
She shook her head: "Cousin, I don't understand what you said. Then let's stall for time. If they get anxious, they will lower their profile and ask for our help, right? Let's just wait!"
This is what worries Shen Dingzhu.
"We can wait, but the emperor's injury cannot wait."
Su Wenhua fell silent, and then became worried. He held his head in his hands, feeling distressed.
She remembered that just now in the private room, she heard Wei Wan say that her cousin-in-law's leg was seriously injured and he would be lame and paralyzed if not treated in time!
"What should we do?"
"Nothing can be done. I will find a way to send this medicine to the palace first and let the ghost doctor study it."
Su Wenhua was sent home. Before getting off the carriage, Shen Dingzhu told her: "Don't tell anyone what Wei Wan said for the time being. No one can do it. Don't rush to question your brother-in-law. I'm afraid he will They don’t even know that the boy they sent has been replaced.”
The carriage drove away slowly.
Su Wenhua stood at the door. The cold wind blew through her and she felt sweat on her forehead.
"This matter is too difficult. Even I am so worried. How can my cousin face it alone?" Su Wenhua murmured to himself.
She only thought that Shen Dingzhu had lived a good life, being loved and protected by the most noble man in the world, but she never expected that she would encounter such a thing.
Su Wenhua didn't dare to think about it. If she encountered it, what would she choose?
Wei Wan's plan was exposed, and then the Chang Liu Kingdom was really defeated, all the tassels were cut off, and Xiao Langyan was completely paralyzed?
Su Wen's head almost hurt.
She couldn't think about it anymore. Anyway, she knew that she didn't have any outstanding wisdom, but she decided to go to the palace and tell her cousin-in-law about it.
After all, she couldn't figure out a solution on her own, and she couldn't watch her cousin face it alone. She had better go against her cousin's wishes and let her cousin-in-law know...
With this thought in mind, Su Wenhua entered the palace, intending to borrow his grandfather's token to enter the palace and ask for an audience.
Unexpectedly, he met his mother running over in a hurry: "Wen Hua, why did you come back? I sent people everywhere to look for you. If it's not good, you can go back to Anzhou immediately. I asked your brother to accompany you." !”
Su Wenhua had never seen his mother look so panicked, and asked quickly: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Your husband Pan Shuqing drowned and died! My poor daughter, oh, don't delay any longer. Everything has been packed for you. Go to Anzhou to get your Geng Tie back. He is dead, and you can't be a widow. "
After his mother pushed him, Su Wenhua came back to his senses from the huge shock.
The word "widowhood" stimulated her nerves, and she hurriedly jumped on the carriage, urging the driver in a slightly more urgent voice than before.
*
Shen Dingzhu once again wore the same boy's clothes as before and was led into the palace by her eldest brother Shen Lan.
Arriving at the entrance of the Qianyuan Hall, Shen Lan reported to the inner circle: "The medicine that the ghost doctor asked his second brother to look for is now found. It was specially sent to the emperor for a try."
Soon, Xu Shou's voice came from inside: "General Shen, please come in quickly."
Shen Lan cupped his hands and looked back. Shen Dingzhu lowered his head and stepped onto the white jade steps holding the baggage.
As soon as she walked in, the ghost doctor walked out from behind the screen of Jiulong Opera Pearl, his hands covered with blood. Shen Dingzhu opened her beautiful eyes wide and froze.
The ghost doctor knew it was her, so he seemed to be talking to Shen Lan, but in fact he was talking to her.
"I found a folk remedy yesterday. It is said to be bloodletting treatment, which can stimulate the regeneration of flesh and blood. Alas, I think it is ineffective."
Behind the screen, Xiao Langyan coughed violently, and his cold and hoarse voice sounded: "Jiang Manzi, don't talk too much, and Shen Lan, don't tell anyone about my situation. This is an imperial edict."
Shen Lan held up his hands: "Yes!"
The ghost doctor opened the bag and inspected it, took a bite personally, savored the taste twice, and nodded decisively: "It's Tasmanthus. Okay, okay, it's really good. With these, it can last at least half a month."
He was so happy that he called the imperial doctor to study and prepare the prescription himself.
Behind the screen, not knowing what Xiao Langyan ordered, Xu Shou turned around and walked towards Shen Lan with a smile and cupped his hands: "General Shen, please take a step to speak."
Shen Dingzhu saw from the corner of his eye that his eldest brother followed Xu Shou out of the palace and stood at the door saying something. Shen Lan kept frowning seriously.
She stood not far from the screen, motionless.
She and Xiao Langyan were the only ones left in the hall. There were constant coughing sounds from behind the screen, and the smell of medicine lingered around them.
One can imagine how many methods he has tried during these days.
Shen Dingzhu felt sour and bitter in her heart.
When she came, she had thought about it. If she confessed to Xiao Langyan and asked him to pretend to accept Wei Wan as his concubine for the time being, as long as the medicine was available, would he agree?
the answer is negative.
Xiao Langyan would definitely not agree.
And when she saw him in such pain, she couldn't say anything. Tears had been welling up in her eyes for a long time and she couldn't hold them back.
Xiao Langyan didn't know when, he propped himself up and sat on the edge of the bed. His eyebrows were deep and high. The slight lowering of his head at this time made his eyes even darker and sharper when he raised his eyes.
Even when he is ill, he still remains calm and confident.
He looked at the figure behind the screen. He was still the chubby follower Shen You brought in last time, but he couldn't hide it from Xiao Langyan's eyes. There was something stuffed in the man's clothes.
Could it be her? Will it be?
Xiao Langyan struggled to stand up while holding on to the bed rail, wanting to walk over and see with his own eyes.
At this moment, he was afraid of seeing Shen Dingzhu and letting her see his embarrassment and incompetence, but he was looking forward to seeing her.
He had been sick for too long and needed her comfort, or she didn't need to say any words of comfort, just standing there and looking at him quietly would make him feel much better.
So, Xiao Langyan endured the severe pain, sweat dripping from his forehead, and stepped closer to the screen, just to get a clearer view.
Sudden!
Pain shot through his legs and he fell to the ground.
Shen Dingzhu watched helplessly and subconsciously took a half step forward to help him up, but remembered that he had entered the palace secretly and hurriedly stopped.
She wanted to save Xiao Langyan's face.
Tears welled up in her eyes. She really couldn't watch him suffer like this anymore, so she turned around and left the palace in a hurry.
"Stop..." Xiao Langyan yelled, but his voice was weak from pain, and his legs seemed to have ants crawling on them, gnawing at his flesh and blood.
Shen Dingzhu said outside that the emperor had fallen, and many imperial doctors and imperial guards rushed in. They hurriedly helped Xiao Langyan up.
His bloodshot cold eyes were looking in the direction of the door. Shen Lan had already left with the boy.
On the carriage back, Shen Dingzhu cried until he retched, but couldn't spit out anything, just an indescribable discomfort.
Shen Lan was worried: "When you go back, will you hire a doctor?"
"No, brother, there's really no need," Shen Dingzhu said in a panic, "I just hate that I can't do anything. I can't do anything but watch him hurt."
Shen Lan looked at his sister distressedly and sighed heavily.
"It's not that nothing can be done. Just now, Eunuch Xu Shou asked me to do something."
"What?"
"The Emperor wants to see you."
Shen Lan didn't know whether he should say it, but as a general, he was loyal and courageous, and he had to bring the emperor's orders.
Shen Dingzhu wiped away her tears: "Isn't he worried about me seeing his condition?"
Shen Lan was helpless: "The emperor said, let me think of a reason to cover your eyes. He just wants to get along with you for a moment. Little sister, there is something I don't know whether I should say. The emperor is the proud son of heaven. In one moment, both The serious injury to his leg was probably a big blow to him, and I just heard Xu Shou secretly reveal that when the emperor was in pain, he would bang his head against the wall to relieve the pain."
These words were like carving out the flesh in Shen Dingzhu's heart, causing her great pain.
"Okay, okay, I'll go see him, I want to see him."
Shen Lan patted her shoulder comfortingly: "Say more words to comfort the emperor. I hope the ghost doctor can find a solution soon. By the way, where did your herbs come from?"
Shen Dingzhu lowered his head slightly, wiped away his tears, and choked with sobs: "I entrusted friends to buy them from various places, but I'm afraid there aren't many left."
Shen Lan sighed: "Then I'll write to my old friends again. They are spread all over the world. Maybe they can find a way, but they can't spread the news about the emperor's condition, so they have to be careful, for fear of difficulty, hey."
For two or three days in a row, Shen Dingzhu dreamed of Xiao Langyan.
He was kneeling on the ground in pain and could not stand up. His body was covered with blood.
Shen Dingzhu hugged him and cried in her dream. Xiao Langyan kept repeating: "Shen Dingzhu, I am in terrible pain."
The picture in the dream changed. Xiao Langyan in the previous life was holding her coffin, his hands were still dripping with blood, but his smile was gentle and a little sad——
"In order to reunite with you, I made a vow before God. The price is not to die well. Don't cry. This time, it's you who will take me on my last journey."
She woke up from her dreams several times because she was crying too loudly, but she seemed to be trapped in a nightmare and couldn't wake up.
It was Shen Bi and Xiucui who pushed her awake.
The family members were worried and asked her what was wrong. Shen Dingzhu only said that she had a nightmare.
Three days later, Shen Lan arranged for her to enter the palace.
Go to see Xiao Langyan.
